This book provides guidance on characterizing, recognizing, and responding to warning signs to help avoid process incidents and injuries before they occur. The guidance can be used by both process safety management (PSM) professionals in evaluating their processes and PSM systems as well as for operators who are often the frontline defense against process incidents. Warning signs may consist of process deviations or upsets, instrumentation warnings or alarms, past operating history and incidents, observable problems such as corrosion or unusual odors, audit results indicating procedures are not being followed, or a number of other indicators. Filled with photos and practical tips, this book will turn anyone in a process plant into a hazard lookout and will help prevent potential incidents before they turn into catastrophic events.

Since 1985, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) has
been the world leader in developing and disseminating information
on process safety management and technology. CCPS, an industry
technology alliance of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers
(AIChE), has published over eighty books in its process safety
guidelines and process safety concepts series, and over a hundred
training modules through its Safety in Chemical Engineering
Education (SACHE) series.

"The CCPS and the authors (AntiEntropcis, Inc,) are to be commended
on producing a very informative and useful book that will help to
minimize process plant accidents if the principles in the book are
followed . . . This book will be very useful to plant operating
personnel and process safety/loss prevention specialists to help
them evaluate their processes and systems." (Process Safety
Progress, 1 June 2012)
